      Description

The Mazza Museum is the first and largest Teaching Museum of Original 
Children's Book Art in the World. The Mazza collection began in 1982 to 
help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Findlay College. With the 
generous gift of two Findlay College alumni, the collection began with 
four pieces of art, valued at $1,700. Today, the Mazza Museum houses 
more than 3,000 original illustrations.

/The mission of the Mazza Museum at The University of Findlay is to 
promote literacy through its educational programs and to collect, 
exhibit and preserve original art from children's books./
